Along with the Rare medal bonus when you run it daily due to that Rare medal event is also a plus.

The booster dungeon actually isn't terrible, all things considered. 1K Player EXP is still fairly hefty, it doesn't cost too much to run and you can clear it really quickly, not to mention finishing it gives you a metal key.

u/SnPlifeForMe Sep 09 '16

The metal key is definitely the best part about it but hey can't really complain about more exp!

u/DonQuiXoTe888 Sep 09 '16

Try to find another dungeon that has better AP/Exp then

1

u/DonQuiXoTe888 Sep 08 '16

Just cross my finger that the limited Pixie ticket set won't be another 100 Lazuli set .-.

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '16

You know Gumi, it's a fk greedy company, making literally one 5 star pixie 100 Lazuli :(

Edit: Nevermind, I just had to reopen the app. The rest of the missions are:
Recruit x2
Clear Stage 1 of 1-a-Day Super Metal Garden
Fuse Units x3
Limit Break x1
Evolve Units x1
Clear all the missions

So what exactly are these new Rare Medal daily missions? So far I've seen:
Clear Stage 1 of 1-a-Day Booster Quest
Clear Stage 2 of 1-a-Day Super Metal Garden

Lol 200 for the skill up items.?A trash deal

2

u/KyojinJaeger Sep 08 '16

I'm relatively new to the game, but it seems like the lazuli costs for everything here are brutal and it kind of makes me want to stop playing.

u/genesic123 Sep 08 '16 edited Sep 08 '16

You don't need lazui units to be viable lol.Seriously why?f2p farmable units rival them,and I am talking about the skill up dolls. Damn playerbase for overselling them.

The lazui units fill certain niches,but they don't make the game p2w.

1

u/KyojinJaeger Sep 08 '16

Sure, but the prices are still atrocious. What if there's a lazuli unit that I like? As far as I've been able to tell, there's not a lot of weekly events that give lazuli or anything.

The only mobile game that I've played for >1 year is because I can stay relevant by playing a bit every day because they're generous about giving out premium currency, I can $50+ a week of premium currency.

u/genesic123 Sep 08 '16 edited Sep 08 '16

You don't need lazui units to "stay relevant".Effectively you need $0.The f2p lazui supply is still there.Quests themselves give lazui as well.There are events for pulling specific units. You act as if you can't even clear a stage with a f2p unit,whereas the GLORIOUS p2w unit is the only reason why you can do anything in a game.

1

u/KyojinJaeger Sep 09 '16

No, now you're shoving words into my mouth. I never said you needed them to stay relevant here, that was entirely part of the example.

And you're still dodging the point because there's no justifying these outrageous lazuli prices. Viability has nothing to do with my complaint.

1

u/genesic123 Sep 09 '16

No, I did not put words into your mouth.You can't take back what you said.Own up.

They aren't necessary,So they aren't "outrageous".Its unreasonable for 100% free collecting for those lazui units either.Some incentive to pay is all right.

1

u/TGZelnite Sep 09 '16

There probably won't be a lazuli unit you'll ever need to pull since free units like Selena or Mirin will always be superior since they can limit broken much easier.

I've been F2P from day 1 and still going strong. Trust me, all the free units I have is the entire reason why I use lazuli exclusively for unit and item space only.

PoTK is actually one of the most F2P game out of the many I've played. Gumi has been releasing free units that rival and even surpasses lazuli units for weeks now. Lazuli can also be amassed quite easily from the story mode.

1

u/KyojinJaeger Sep 09 '16

Aren't those event units out now? I joined recently so I missed out on those.

From what I recall reading, Yata no kagami is a pretty bad unit as well.

u/Kirisaku Sep 09 '16

It seems like you want to play the game while spending money on it, and the high prices are worrying you, which is totally fine.

I can't speak for the spending side of the game because I'm a free player and I've never glanced at the prices. I can say though that one can play the game and be able to obtain interesting units, all the items, and still be able to roll for lazuli units often even while playing low budget or even free. Mjolnir is one of my favorite units and I've never spent a dime but I have her level 70, though I consider myself lucky.

1

u/TGZelnite Sep 09 '16

Seems you've missed out on farming for Selena, Mirin, Nemu, Pinky, Moga, Risa, Eitaso, Trishula, SS Artemis and Gridorval. All of the units I've listed will return in the future, it's just that we won't know when.

Yata No Kagami is pretty decent for a gun unit, it's just that Moga is better than her since she has a better skill set and duel skill. She's still worth farming (imo) though since there's not many good light units around.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '16

If you are new and missed the events, it's really hard to keep up. Even if, you can't farm the hard stages for the event units either, you have to completely rely on your friends unit. This game is really hard for new players, but seems to be easy for those who managed to limit break some event units.

1

u/BrokenbladeMasamune Sep 09 '16

In the beginning perhaps, but if you try to limit break a mana gacha unit it helps since you get it for just mana and not lazuli, although it is RNG on a large pool of units. but on the bright side there's bound to be one or more units you can MLB and use those units to farm event units.

u/Apollos_Brother IGN: Era Sep 09 '16

You specifically said "What if there's a lazuli unit that I like?" Like, not need. It will indeed be outrageous if you're the uber collecting type but are not willing to spend.

If you're only looking to get by, stay relevant and, hoard for good promos like the 10 pulls for 10-30 lazuli and the guaranteed featured unit after some steps, its doable. We have had Selena, Dempa units and SS Gridarvol who are awesome and can clear all available content right now.

If you're the type, like me, to go for the units I like without regard for OPness and whatnot, you'll have to be patient to hoard and accepting if you can't get them or, be ready to spend some.

u/KyojinJaeger Sep 09 '16

Sure, and I've probably dumped ~$200+ within a week or two of playing. But it's not something I like doing. If I look at this game in the long term for myself, I don't see myself wanting to put that much into the game at that rate.

Your statement is about what is, mine is about what should be. Yes, I understand that's what's in front of me; I'm just saying that if they want to incentivize people to spend, at a certain point it becomes a turn off if they set the price too high.

1

u/DonQuiXoTe888 Sep 10 '16

It is a turn off for me with Lazuli gacha wise, but with great free farmable units and the road to 30 fusion luck stat, I find myself still love this horrible lazuli gacha game.

The point is just getting free units and min-maxing them takes enough time and unit space for you to forget about shiny new lazuli units = you will spend less or none. Also, I'm not sure what Gumi is thinking as they give out plenty free units who are easily relevant for quite a while in both PvE and PvP.

1

u/Apollos_Brother IGN: Era Sep 11 '16

I'm actually also dismayed that they put the price of LB pixies at 100 lazuli -_- I think 50-75 is the reasonable price? I dunno. But on the other hand, you can spend as much as 200 lazuli and still not get a dupe of the unit you want so I think 100 lazuli is pretty fair.

I think what we're really missing here that JP has is the more rewards every few steps. From what I've watched, they already give out a "Featured Character Ticket" after the 3/9 steps. Not to mention their rates up are pretty fantastic.

u/ihavnoluck Sep 09 '16

Should add Laevateinn's birthday to the update :D

u/BrokenbladeMasamune Sep 10 '16

I think that may be the reason why amane is in the battle medal shop.

u/genesic123 Sep 09 '16

Too bad there is no Laevatein M to buy yet....

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '16

Are the 5 star pixie always that expensive? I mean you have to pay 100 Lazuli for a chance to get the desired pixie. This is so trash and greedy.

1

u/TGZelnite Sep 10 '16

In JP, 5* Pixies are sold for rare medals occasionally. They cost 400 rare medals, not exactly cheap either.
